    The point of the video was about the HBO commentary and the punches they called landed and didnt bother to call. Majority of the time spent, they called so many of Pac's punches landed when they actually missed. And they rarely called any punches from Bradley when he clearly landed...jabs, body shots etc. Again it wasnt about who landed genius, it was about the HBO commentators not doing their job, which is to call the fight we're watching, which they failed to do.

    The video wasnt about WHO won the fight or who landed more or who landed the harder punches. The video was about how HBO called the fight. And he highlighted examples of when a punch missed for Pac and Jim would say it landed, and he highlighted examples of a punch landing for Bradley and not being called by ANYONE. There is nothing biased about the video since that is how HBO called it.

    HBO commentary was even worse during Mayweather - Cotto. Didn't see you bringing up any objections there.

    No it wasn't ****, Mayweather clearly beat Cotto. Pacquiao lost to Bradley.

    Was there a video uploaded with evidence of this? If there was i must have missed it which is why you havnt seen my objections to their commentary, because youre right, not only did HBO do a terrible job commenting that fight but so did the UK broadcast(possibly worse). It was nut huggery at its finest in favor of Floyd on both broadcasts.

    Why would I need a video to tell me I'm right? I watched the fight and saw Pacquiao dominating. I don't need a video in black and white, with stupid coments over it to confirm my own opinion.

    Anyone who can score a fight scored it for Pacquiao. Including me.

    If you can't score a fight, that's fine. If you need someone else to tell you what to think, that's fine too. However, for the vast majority of us, this fight was not even close.

    Jack, you're completely missing the point of the video.

    Really.
